Description
I'm not even going to try translating my little poem-thingie at the top, my poetry skills in English are pretty much zero. Or below. x3 It's such a simple story, I'm sure the images are enough to convey at least the gist of it.But for those who really need an explanation:
Little bunny gets a gift from his parents-> he loses it-> little bunny is sad -> and finally there's the happy ending, because sad endings are sad.

It's a lovely work . . . your art has the museum level quality if I dare say so.Β And this story . . . is sweeter for it sheds a better light on a bunny's natural predator.

And I thought that here comes the part "Sneaky viper tricks little bunny into coming close just so he can eat him alive"

I love the colours you used, and while I can't read your poem the pictures do a great job of showing what's going on (:

I love the atmosphere in the back, though all the detail up front is lovely as well. The story is very easy to follow.

This touched me in a way i didn't anticipate...it reminds me of all the Bulgarian children's books I read when I was young. your illustration style is nearly identical...exceptional.

daaaw....
What a lovely piece. You're right- I was able to understand the whole story without the words. The picture is very beautiful, I love the background. And it makes me happy that the snake is a good guy.

Tekninen taito, kansallisromanttinen tyyli, taiteilijan nuoruus, tarinan kuljetus, runomuodon hallinta ja niin edelleen... erittÀin vaikuttava yhdistelmÀ, siinÀ mÀÀrin ettÀ katsoin kaikki muutkin kuvasi lÀpi. PâyristyttÀvÀn hienoa ja tolkuttoman komeat sÀhkâsivutkin.

That's an awfully nice viper. Really great art here. Beautiful work.

Mm... I always feel like im missing out on poems and songs in other languages, even when translated. However, it sends off the same compassionate vibe and story here, regardless of language :] That can be quite hard to achieve, and you've done it here.
also, That Viper has really pretty eyes

I like it a lot. Mainly, and most importantly (for me), the snake being a compassionate figure. (I like snakes a lot and I always dislike it that the baddie in a lot of stories are snakes.) So I really like this for at least shirking that trend. It is well drawn to say the least. While I get the gist of the poem, I do wish I could read it. Not that translating it directly is the way to go. A lot of poems lose a lot of their subtleties when translated.
I digress. Wonderful work.

Very cute, and well done!
Though I wonder about the bunnyboy's shoes.
They look like snakeskin to me.

I love how concerned the snake looks. Very sweet!

So the snake recovered the gift? How nice of it.

Vipers normally have much more triangular heads, but besides that, this picture is awesome!
And congrats on the DD!
